Has closed, details will come shortly

In 2012 there will be a gardener in residence, building upon work developing the Time's Up Augmented Garden. This page attempts to summarise some of the experiences in a wiki format, to allow easy editing and access by interested people as well as those involved.

Some details of the experiences are collected here: questions, ideas and further experiences are accumulating. Slowly but surely.

Some of the mechanical devices Harvest quantities 2011 Ideas: ongoing supply seems to work and offer immediate feedback: salads, tomatoes, capsicums Experiences:

• Pumpkins: the plants grow well but the pumpkins do not
• Potatoes: deep system sort of worked (link to blog)
• Beetroot: okay
• carrots: good flavour, not very big.
• Tomatoes: grow well, rain protection and sunshine / warmth help
• Capsicum and chillis: grew well. The existing plots can be re-used, which is meant to be great for chilli.
• Making the high hanging gardens self-seeding would be good, new plant colony is possible.
• The 2011 harvest is listed here: http://timesup.org/content/harvest-2011

Watering:

• the main windmill is operating, but is suffering from age.
• The backup pump system works well and was probably necessary.
• The Ram was effective. Has been dismantled for now.
• The tipping pipes tipple along nicely
• The high hanging gardens are surviving.
